Attended a friend's bedak mandi (pre-wedding ceremony which involves a blessing by close family elders and a cleansing body-scrub) ceremony this afternoon and it brought back memories of my own bedak mandi all those years ago. What fun, a free body scrub performed by several family members, watched by even more family members! More pics here . Short rant: During the Microsoft Vista launch , both of us went in "business attire" as stated in the invitation. While trying to photograph the guest of honour, I was approached by one of the more seasoned photographers who asked me where I was from. I said I was an invited guest who happened to bring my camera. This is what he said to me, "Mana baju kot mu? Kalau jemputan duduk saja. Kalau mau buleh pulang ku panggil AO ni untuk membawa kau keluar." Yes, very Bruneian indeed matey. You could have just told me that its a requirement for photographers to wear a suit in the presence of royalty. No need to bite my head of...
Your Tasek Lama photos inspired me to drag the hubby there so that 1) my daughter would get to see a waterfall for the first time and 2) we needed new photos of her. I was impressed with Tasek Lama. Its hard to find a clean park here in Brunei...and so MANY people exercising..issh..so rajin..not my cup of tea..anyways the pictures turned out really great..and thanks to the heavy rain we've had recently, the waterfall was flowing heavily and was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Nings! Glad you enjoyed Tasek Lama and I'm sure the pics were awesome judging by the equipment hubby has! Heheheh!
